Mike Nguyen’s blog

March 20, 2008 10:34 am

Mike Nguyen is one of the best traditional character animators I know. Fiercely independent, Mike’s working on his own feature film essentially by himself, and has been blogging about it, and his random thoughts about animating — with video clips, sketches and sculpture online — every week on rainplace.net. Check it out. To paraphrase the motto of the old Gotham Book Mart: “Wise animators fish here”.

	Mike Nguyen is such an awesome guy! I had him as a teacher at Calarts about 12 years ago and he was so inspirational, and my favorite teacher there. So talented, and SOOOO nice! He would bring us treats from Portos, and introduced me to many great filmmakers by showing video clips at the beginnig of each class, most memorably: David Attenborough. I can’t wait til he finishes his film!

	That guy is awesome! I like how unafraid to be completely ridiculous he is. I had a good laugh but learned something too.

	So he knew all about animation when he was six? I really have to find the time to read more of his blog.

	I was fortunate that my first taste of the industry was being part of Mike’s Ayden team back on Quest for Camelot. While the movie was a wreck, we had a ball, and I learned a ton of stuff. Mike has the heart and soul of a true artist. I love that little pencil test!
